[SOLVED] ZTE MF190 Pocket Modem and wvdial

[cjcboy2]

Hi there!

I hope you can help to configure this one.

Apparently I am using a dialer (wvdial) which I installed in my system. It works perfectly on my old stick which is Huawei E153 model.

When I changed my modem to ZTE one, it is not being detected anymore that I have this error:

===========================================
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
===========================================

Using lsusb command, it showed:

My configs are as follows:

I have this file /etc/udev/rules/25-zte-mf622.rules that has this:

ACTION!="add", GOTO="End"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2000",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", GOTO="ZeroCD"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0001",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", GOTO="Modem"
LABEL="ZeroCD"
RUN+="/sbin/rmmod usb_storage"
LABEL="Modem"
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0001",
MODE="660", GROUP="dialout"
LABEL="End"


and

/etc/providerConfigs.conf which is being called thru this command:

wvdial --config=/etc/providerConfigs.conf

that config is my provider's default for me to connect to their network


I am seeing that this might be hardware driver / device driver issue.

Hoping for you assistance

I had problems with the MF190 at first - some of your post looks the same as back then, but it works now.  All I had to do when I tried it again a few mouths and updates later was plug it in and in network manager follow the set-up as my provider was listed.  It was listed before when it didn't work too, but something changed and it works without any hassle to set up now. 

Did you follow this one yet?  It has some suggests about what needs to be installed and kernel level etc.

Hi!

Just to add up here, been experimenting to make things work on my setup. Though admittedly, this was quite painful technically =D

I do have a dual boot system Windows 7 and PCLOS (Mini Me). This is both freshly installed systems on a Lenovo S400 laptop.

Since I needed this dongle to work on both, I didn't stopped reading tricks and workarounds to successfully connect to the internet.

I did noticed that ejecting the dongle, just makes my nix system hung and apparently rebooting it all the time is not an option so what I did was:

1.) booted my system to Windows 7 (just to detect the dongle and sync it with the provider)
2.) rebooted the system to PCLOS (leaves the dongle still synced)
3.) re-enabled the connection and presto I'm connected

The above mentioned is based on my experience and not saying that it can work on others setup.

Cheers!
